almex.optima cl
Perfect ergonomics
Ergonomic on-board computer for telematics, ticketing and boarding control, enabling quicker, intuitive ticket sales.
The design of the almex.optima cl is clean and unfussy. But the on-board computer has more to offer than its attractive appearance. The hardware is designed to cater precisely for the needs of driver and passenger alike. The compact ticket printer fits perfectly in the driver's working area, while the passenger will find that the operating elements are positioned perfectly in terms of ergonomics. This makes the ticket sale easier and more efficient for both driver and passenger. Incidentally, for its exemplary ergonomic design the ticket printer was awarded the coveted Universal Design Award.
The almex.optima cl is equipped for the future of E-Ticketing. The on-board computer can work with any current standard: VDV-KA, ITSO and Calypso as well as the Almex card scheme ACS. There is an option to add a 2D barcode imager, a money card function and a semi-automatic payment counter controlled by the ticket printer.
